Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread

I was wondering if anyone had found any really great clear masks/face shields for theatre performances.  We are going to be trying ...

I have an IB student who is considering writing his extended essay on American plays that center around the idea of 'finding oneself/discovering purpose'. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?  Thanks so much! ------------------------------ Amy Rawlins Theatre Teacher Decatur High School Decatur, GA ...

We are moving towards having students audition to be placed into our advanced ensemble (musical theatre and acting) ensemble CLASSES.  I just wanted to see if anyone out there does something similar, and if you had any rubrics you use for the process.  I am also open to hearing any tips or tricks on ...

Seeking recommendations for Technical Theatre textbooks... Does anyone have one they really like? I'd like to find something that is strictly for the technical side of theatre, as opposed to a general theatre text that includes acting and theatre literature (like "Stage and the School").  Thanks in advance ...
